BRYAN'S ACT IS LESSON
REVOLT PLOT FOUND
Revolution in India Planned in
Sacramento, Cal.
GERMANS AIDED, IS CHARGE
Party Sailed From San Francisco
to Get Movement Under Way, Say
Witnesses In Trial ot Oonspir
. ators In Calcutta Court.
CALCUTTA, India. May 15. (Corre
spondence of the Associated Press.)
The full story of the carefully planned
effort to effect a revolution in British
India, hatched. It is said, in California.
has been revealed in detail in court
proceedings under the def ense-of-Ir.dia
act at Lahore. Eighty-one persons
were named in the indictment, charged
with "conspiracy to wage war against
His Majesty and to overthrow by force
the lawful government of India.".
The attempt . at revolution was
launched, according to the witnesses,
at a meeting of five or six thousand
East Indians at Sacramento in August.
1914.
"It was thought." declared one wit
ness who was present at this meet
ing. "that as a great war had broken
out In Europe and troops from India
were serving in this war, it was a good
chance for East Indians to demand
their rights, and if necessary to use
force."
The witness was one of a party of
70 Indians who sailed from San Fran
cisco for Hongkong, enroute for In
dla.
The Sacramento meeting was one of
a number held in various places in
America after the failure of the at
tempt of Gurda Singhs to get 400 East
Indian laborers into ancouver con
traiy to law. and their return to the
East.
Following the arrival at Hongkong
of the party of Indians which sailed
from San Francisco August 29 last,
parties of Indians went to various parts
of the Far East with a view to start
ing seditious propaganda among the
Indians. They were active among the
Indian Sepoys stationed at Hongkong
and they instigated the nearly-successful
mutiny at Singapore on February
15. The leaders obtained considerable
assistance, it was testified, from Ger
man sources.

Sis Other Measures.
WASHINGTON, June 13. (Special.)
Leaders of the Congressional Union
for Woman Suffrage, the militant body
which has been condemned by the gen
eral organization for heckling Presi
dent Wilson, say they are hopeful that
President Wilson will change his mind
and advocate their proposition.
"We are watching with great Inter
est the changing events in National
politics," said Miss Eisie Hill, a mem
ber of the executive committee of the
Congressional Union and a daughter
of Representative Hill, of Connecticut.
"President Wilson s change of policy
in Mexico is most encouraging. He
may yet see the light on the suffrage
question and stand for a square deal
for women.
Bryan's Resignation Encouraging.
"The action of Bryan, too, in offer
ing his resignation when he was un
able to follow the President further
gives women a lesson in the way a
politician acts on questions he con
siders to be of first-rate importance
when he disagrees with the Adminis
tration to which he belongs. The ef
fort of suffragists from now on will
be more and more directed to obtain
ing, not a statement of favorable opin
ion from individual men in different
parties, but the consent of the Admin
istration to take favorable action on
the question of National .woman suf
frage. "Mr. Wilson has, I think, shown
clearly that he is quite capable of
changing his mind on questions of
National political policy. He reversed
himself sharply, as we all know, on
the question of Panama Canal tolls
and, when he was reproached - for it
by members of his own party, said
quite simply and Indeed reasonably
that he had studied the question fur
ther and had changed his mind.
Change Toward Mexico Cited.
"During the last few weeks he has
made a change of front on the Mexi
can question. Only last January he
was saying that it was nobody's busi
ness but Mexico's hour that country
won her freedom, how long she took
in winning It or how much blood she
spilt in the meantime. This month he
said that it was the duty of America
to intervene to "save and serve" the
neighbor state.
"It is interesting to note that on
both of these questions it is rather
the pressure of necessity than force of
argument that changed Mr. Wilson.
"It is the business of suffragists to
show him that it will help other meas
ures which he has deeply at heart and
not hurt them if he assists the passage
of the Federal amendment in Congress."

sugar refinery at Souchel, which was

This ridge was taken by assault, and
we have organized and maintained
ourselves there, notwithstanding an
inter se bombardment.
"We attacked today to the southeast
of Hebuterne the German trenches
neighboring on the road from Serre
to Mailly-Maillet. Our infantry carried

French officers:
" 'You have without doubt sent
against us troops of the highest qual

the beginning of the attack. Never
have I seen soldiers deliver an assault

KAISER LIKE FREDERICK
RJEV. MR. BOYD THINKS EMPEROR
GREATEST MODERN LEADER.
Pastor Says German People Are Most
Marvelous of Century, but Error
Was Forgetting Humanity.
"The German people are the most
marvelous people of the 20th century,
and the present Kaiser Is the most re
markable leader the world has seen
since the days of Frederick the Great
and, if I believed in reincarnation, I
would believe that Kaiser Wilhelm Is
another Frederick," emphatically de
clared Rev. John H. Boyd, of the First
Presbyterian Church, in his sermon on
The German Side of the Pijesent
War." He continued:
. "The new Germany is bound by the
most far-reaching motto which ever
has Inspired any nation since the be
ginning of time, and that is 'Duty,
obedience, work for God and your na
tive land.' That motto alone has de
veloped a mentality, an intellectuality
the like of which the world has never
before seen. That nation has brought
her common people from the kinder
garten to the specializing school as
has no other nation on the face of the
globe. The German social and indus
trial life has been raised to so high a
plane that, while we are frivoling
away our time over here with the
moving-picture shows and other care
less entertainment and worrying over
the problems of municipal government,
the German nation has solved them all
and gone about the work of progres
sion so far that she knows no slums,
no unemployed and today is imprison
ing those who give to 'those who dare
to beg.
"These are all the findings of an
honest mind as I point to them to
night. You all know that Germany
has developed, with only two ports,
and those inland, a sea trade -twice
greater than that which the United
States, with many ports, has been able
to create. She has a merchant marine
which grew to mammoth proportions.
while we here in the United States
haven't men broadmlnded or large
enough to see the great advantages
which might accrue to the establish
ment of so great a commercial endeav
or on the part of any nation.
vvny, l don t care 'ether you
tmnk witn me or not, but Germany to-
day is the greatest Industrial nation
of the world. Yes, I'm anti - German,
and yet I know this to be true. I have
studied this problem from all angles,
from all sources of information, from
all the white, blue and yellow books
which have been the printed results of
the war from the various nations now
participating.
"The modern Germany is large and
it is a splendid largeness. You can't
get away from this fact- You may scoff
at and mock the German culture, but
I defy anyone to show where, in any
nation, the idea of national destiny is
so fully developed as in this nation
covering an area ot 261.000 square
miles, in which there is a population
of 6S, 000,000 souls, 'battling for its life,'
as they put it.
"Yes, expansion was a necessity. Ger
many was hemmed in on all sides. She
saw the best of her land slipping away
from her; she s&w. her millions being
lost to her even here in America
She had to expand, and peaceful ex
pansion was impossible. That is the
way that Germany looked at the prop
osition. "But do I approve of all that Ger
many is doing? No, I do not, and I'll
tell you why. It all solves itself into
what Jagow replied, when asked - in
Berlin, after the German answer had
been sent to the first American note,
what he thought would be the Ameri
can sentiment on the matter. He said,
'I do not know how the note will be
taken. We are working in the dark.'
"There it is. Germany has been
working in the dark. Yes, all too
long. Germany has been unable to see
the new idealism which is sweeping
over the world, the universal manhood.
fully portrayed in President Wilson s
note to Germany, the right of human
ity. Humanity is greater tnan Ger
many, humanity is greater tnan Eng
land, humanity is greater than France,
humanity is greater than America.
Germany could not see this. She has
been working In the dark. She admits
it. Thus we see the horrible spectacle
of the great war."

ACHES AND PAS
Have All Gone Since Taking
Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound.
Terre Hill, Pa." Kindly permit mo
to eive yoil my testimonial in favor of
Vegetable Com
pound. When I first
began taking it I
was suffering from
female troubles for
some time and had
almost all kinds of
aches pains in low
er part of back and
in sides, and press
ing down pains. I
could not sleep and
had no appetite. Since I have taken
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound the aches and pains are all gone
and I feel like a new woman. I cannot
praise your medicine too highly. " Mrs.
Augustus Lyon, Terre Hill, Pa.
It is true that nature and a woman's
work has produced the grandest remedy
for woman's ills that the world has
ever known. From the roots and
herbs of the field, Lydia E. Pinkham,
forty year ago, gave to womankind
a remedy for their peculiar ills which
has proved more efficacious than any
other combination of drugs ever com
pounded, and today Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound is recognized
from coast to coast as the standard
remedy for woman's ills.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass., are files containing hundreds of
thousands of letters from women seek
ing health many of them openly stat
over their own signatures that they have
regained their health by taking Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound;
and in some cases that it has savad them
from surgical operations.
